Foreigners who place their trust in the promise of the United States to have their back apparently are unaware of the fate of Vietnamese, Libyans, Cambodians, Afghanis and Iraquies who believed Washington’s promises. When the going gets tough, the U.S. says adios.
The following video cartoon is a canary in the mineshaft. While the West is scrambling to blame Ukraine for the failed counter offensive, some in the Ukraine are pushing back against that narrative by correctly noting that the pledge of Washington and NATO to give them the weapons systems needed to beat back the Russian offensive is nothing more than lip service. I’m providing two versions — youtube and Rumble (just in case youtube tries to quash the video).
* the video has had me laughing for an hour- a must see.
With no success on the battlefield Ukraine is opting for the drone hail Mary — i.e., attacking a couple of Russian ships with maritime drones. These attacks are pin pricks with no strategic significance in terms of diminishing Russia’s military power. However, these attacks are likely to inspire the Russian General Staff to look at attacks on NATO ISR operating over the Black Sea because of the role played by Western aerial surveillance in providing Ukraine with intelligence needed to attack those two Russian vessels. In addition, these attacks are likely to stiffen Russia’s resolve to impose a de facto embargo on Ukrainian ports in the coming weeks.
I wonder when the London bookies will start offering betting opportunities predicting Zelensky’s fall from power or the Ukrainian military’s withdrawal from the battlefield? That is another marker that is a better predictor of the course of the war in Ukraine than any of the nonsense being published by British intelligence or the Institute for the Study of War.
It’s truly amazing to read the comments of folks that are cheering on this war. Not one of you is willing to acknowledge all the broken treaties. Anything about how the Ukrainians treated the people in the Donbas is all Russian propaganda because how dare anyone accuse Zelensky and the Nazis of doing anything wrong.

Exactly why the rumored back door negotiations start with the failed Minsk agreements…..Lughansk and Donetsk declared their Independence from the Ukies a few years ago….this war started in 2014 when US’s pet Nazis began shelling them.
Russia is loved around the world, just fyi.

True statement, but the computer commandos here have never been to the places I have been….one look at the amount of world countries requiring a visa from US citizens ( and not Russian citizens) says it all.
Lughansk and Donetsk declared their Independence from the Ukies a few years ago….this war started in 2014 when US’s pet Nazis began shelling them.
Now, now, now delta7, don’t go spreading Russian Pro-Putin, Putinista, Putin Puppet, Russian Puppet propaganda. We all know that the only truth is the one that comes from the current administration, Congress, the MSM, EU, NATO, and all the pro-Zelensky/Ukraine cheerleaders on here.
I’m hoping you can understand the drastic amount of sarcasm in my comment.
Post of the day in my book...Thanks!
PRICKS isn’t real. It’s just a list of loser countries that some Goldman Sachs dudes made up. Russia’s GDP is smaller than Canada’s. They’re not an economic power. They’re just full of evil, envy and cruelty.
The flip side of this is that not so many are illegal, because Russia has a program where people can get a work permit (called a “patent”) pretty easily, and the program requires a certain amount of tax to be paid in advance, monthly, regardless of actual employment status at the moment.

Makes my blood boil to read that from someone people looked at as a kindly uncle (Uncle Walt as he was known by some) where he was percolating this putrid BS in his head, and discussing it in detail with the likes of Ted Kennedy on their famous sailing excursions in Nantucket Sound.
Ugh. What a fraud.
Ukraine had/has a right to make deals that favor it, and making deals with the enemy is the same as no deal.
Any country will make deals that strengthen it, and with the UK and Germany and the U.S., they couldn’t do better.
Expecting Russia to attack should always be on the radar of any country sharing a border with Russia. No matter who the leader, Russia has been an aggressor country for most of its history, especially in the last 100 or so. If they can’t be trusted, then, making deals with them is very risky and should not be done.
I haven’t killed anyone. I do know how because I have passed the “Basic Soldier Kit” training.
Why did you ask?
Yup, its why the Afghan’s lost to the Soviets, right?
They beat us too if you recall, and even the British Empire at her highest point. Only invader to beat them was—Alexander the Great—and he had to marry an Afghan princess to do so. Old saying: “Alexander conquered Afghanistan, but Roxanne conquered his heart.”
Fantastic documentary from Scott Ritter
